Look from p34 onwards for the party looks feature. Enjoy!
Is your wardrobe looking dull and uninspiring? Then take some inspiration from the natural world of colour
Mother Nature spreads her colours generously - alongside browns, whites, blacks, blues and greys are colours of every hue.
- Bright yellow daffodils cover green hillsides
- Pink and violet wash the skies as the sun sets
- Rust-coloured leaves are scattered on brown and green-dappled forest floors
- Bright holly berries glow against deep green leaves and bright white snow
You, too, can look as lovely, as vibrant as Nature intended you to look.

Do you feel that your clothes are making you look drab, or washed-out? Do you spend ages looking at your wardrobe but still can't find something to wear? Look no further! Here at House of Colour Lichfield you will discover which colours best suit your skin, your eyes and your hair, so that you can look your best and present yourself looking gorgeous in every situation.
Your appearance can positively affect you regardless of what stage of life you are at. Would you like to be more confident when you are starting your first job, progressing in your career, or going to university? Or becoming a mum? Or returning to work after maternity leave or unemployment? Even when you are retiring, or are already retired, looking and feeling good will give you the confidence you need to make the most of life's opportunities. You will discover the tools and understanding to help you achieve this confidence when you come to House of Colour classes.
My own colour journey began when I started a new job in 2004. I recognised how well co-ordinated and attractive a colleague of mine looked all the time whilst I often felt just downright dowdy. When I finally asked her, she told me about her House of Colour journey, which inspired me to want to explore it too. Although my first concern was that it was too much money to spend on myself, I finally decided to save up and have a treat. It was certainly one of the best decisions I've made, as well as one of the best treats I’ve ever had. Far from costing me lots of money, I have found that the financial outlay has been a great investment as I've saved myself from the expensive mistakes which had previously hung unworn in my wardrobe!
My stylist showed me that my clothing mistakes had been down to choosing colours which I liked (summery pastels in lavender, lemon, duck egg blue) instead of colours which ‘liked me’ (deep autumn colours of rust, teal, bronze and moss green). I was so excited and enthused by what I’d learnt, that I continued the journey by attending make-up and image classes. That's where I added to my knowledge and discovered that I needed softer styles and more delicate patterns than those I had been wearing, as well as shapes that showed the figure I had been hiding in loose clothing.
You, too, can learn how to find YOUR best look which makes the most of your natural features, makes you look younger, healthy and well, and both expresses who you are and how you live your life.
Come along to any of the sessions in my studio in Lichfield – there are classes for colour analysis and image for both men and women. Groups can be for up to four people at a time, so why not come along with your friends, or family, or your partner, and see their transformation as well as your own? Book for any of the dates listed in the class information on this page. I also keep other dates free - ring me to enquire.
I also do fast-track sessions in one day which includes both colour and style. So if you would prefer to come on a date which is not listed, or to come alone for some special one-to-one attention, please contact me. If you would like some help with sorting out your wardrobe, I can come to your home and help you, and I am available for personal shopping trips to make sure that your shopping experience is both enjoyable and rewarding! Ring me on 07790 653669
I look forward to taking the journey with you!
